Spotting 9-10 DPO, is it IB or AF?

Hi Ladies,Has anyone on their 2ww seen a reddish/pinking tint after wiping?I have been TTC for over 1.5 years now and had my second IUI on March 7th. I noticed the pinkish/reddish tint on the tp this morning and just figured it was another failed IUI. I do normally spot like that before AF which could be Monday so i don't really have my hopes up but just wondering if anyone else had had this happen during the 2ww?

HI! I have been spotting red blood for the past 5 cycles now usually from 5dpo straight until I get AF. I went to the DR who of course said "everything is fine". Not that I beleive that.This cycle I actually started spotting red blood BEFORE ovulation. So I have no clue what is going on. I am still spotting-enough to wear a liner everyday. I don't know what to do anymore.But you aren't alone

Curious, are you on Clomid? and if so, Did this start when you got on Clomiod? my doctor said that the spotting is not considered actual AF and as lonng as your AF is regular that is what is important, but i feel the same way it just doesnt seem right to spot so early every month.

No I am not on anything yet. My DR wanted to wait until after this cycle to see what happens.I went for ultrasound on Tuesday to see if I did ovulate and I did and she saw something in my utuerus said it could be the beginning of a pregnancy but not to get excited-how can I NOT get excited???? I have been TTC for a year!I really don't think I am pregnant because i didn't get a positive OPK until last Fri so how could I already been having a beginning pregnancy showing on ultrasound? But if it isnt that then what in the world was that showing up on the ultrasound????Fingers crossed for us all!

That is great news, and i would be very excited too! I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you! The OPK could have been wrong. I wonder if low progesterone could give false readings on your OPK?? I've been using OPK's in conjunction with my IUI's as well. I think this will be something I will research further. I'll let you know what i find out and keep us posted on your ultrasound status!

Thank you! I am just really worried since I am spotting red blood. When I told DR she didn't seem concerned about it, which kinda upset me but I am hoping she is right! Let me know how things go with you! I should find out next Friday the 25th if my period arrives. I hope it stays far away for at least 9 months!

My doctor didn't test my progesterone ahead of time. She said it sounds like that may be a problem and we should try it before we do any more serious tests. I did get my progesterone level checked along with a blood test for pregnancy and the level was pretty low even with the supplement. If I don't get a BFP this month, I'm going to a fert doc to do more tests to see if it is a more serious problem. I'll keep you posted. :)

I had the same thing yesterday then AF showed this morning I was only 10dpo my AF was due Monday but showed three days early! Mine wasn't pinkish red though mine was more pinkish brown so that may be a good sign! Good luck!

Hi. How's everytyhing? I hope AF stayed away for you so far. AF showed up for me. My Dr suggested IVF next but we decided yesterday that we are going to try one more IUI (this will be our 3rd). I should be Ovulating sometime around next weekend so that will be about when I;ll have the 3rd IUI done. I REALLY hope this one works, i do not want to go thru IVRF or Laproscopy surgery.Hope all is well with everyone else..

Hi Barbie!I am STILL spotting :( this makes the 9th day that I have been spotting. My AF isn't due to arrive until the 25th....I really hope she doesn't make an appearance. I have tested and got a BFN...so if AF doesn't show Fri then I will test again and hope for BFP!!I hope your next cycle goes well for you! I imagine surgery would not be pleasant....oh the things we go through just to have a baby......Fingers crossed for you!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that. So what does your Dr think she saw on the ultrasound? If you do get on Clomid, ive been on it 5 months now if you need to talk.I'm okay.. just finished my last clomid pill saturday and i start testing with the OPK Tuesday and when i get the surge we go in for out last IUI. I am not nervous, hoepful or anxious this time around. I just feel like i am expecting it to NOT work and if it does it will be such a wondertful surprise. I know that sounds bad but i am just tired of trying to analyze my symptoms after ach IUI and be very hopeful to only be disappointed. I am just taking one day at a time rather then thinking ahead and stressing out.

I am going to ask her when she ever calls me back. It usually takes 2 days for her to call back. :(I hope you have a successful IUI this time! I understand how you feel about expect the worst..that is how I am feeling lately.Thanks for offering to talk with me about the clomid. I will take you up on it.Elizabeth
